What does this test Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Test identify?

Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Test

The Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Test identifies the presence of antibodies that target the thyroid peroxidase enzyme. Thyroid peroxidase is an enzyme found in the thyroid gland that plays a crucial role in the production of thyroid hormones.

Elevated levels of anti-TPO antibodies indicate autoimmune thyroid disease, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease. These antibodies attack the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and dysfunction.

The TPO test is used to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders, as well as to differentiate between autoimmune and non-autoimmune thyroid conditions. It helps healthcare providers determine the underlying cause of thyroid dysfunction and plan appropriate treatment.

Why is this test Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Test taken?

Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Test

The Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Test is taken to diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Thyroid peroxidase is an enzyme found in the thyroid gland that plays a key role in the production of thyroid hormones. When the immune system mistakenly targets thyroid peroxidase as a foreign invader, it produces antibodies known as Anti Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO).

High levels of TPO antibodies in the blood indicate that the immune system is attacking the thyroid gland, which can lead to inflammation and dysfunction of the thyroid. This can result in symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and mood changes. The TPO test is often ordered along with other thyroid function tests to help diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders.
